Alex, De Santiago, Director Informa PLC, Provided the following testimonial
“Best Salesforce Consulting Partner…PERIOD: For the past 14 years, I’ve worked with numerous Salesforce Consulting partners, from very small, boutique style to very big traditional partners (big 5). Girikon has been by far the best partner I’ve worked so far. They are very receptive, responsive, highly knowledgeable, technical and very quick to address issues to find agreeable solutions. Their cost and value have no comparison in the industry. I highly recommend them and give them a 5 star”
The Background
As a part of business needs, the client used to import data from third party applications to Salesforce, which lead to duplicate contact records in their Salesforce instance creating a desperate need for a Salesforce app, capable of merging, all the duplicate records of contacts into a single contact within an account hierarchy.
The Challenge
Client wanted an app that they can use to merge all the duplicate contacts of single account hierarchy as well as all the accounts hierarchy of an Organization. The main challenge in this project that the Salesforce we can only merge three duplicate records at a time using the Apex Merge method.
The Girikon Team Solution
As per the client requirement, we build a Salesforce custom app with a configuration screen where we can choose a single account hierarchy by providing the parent account details or select all account hierarchies to merge duplicate contact records.
The Result
With the solution of “Batch Process” i.e. Apex Batch, we were able to process records in batches asynchronously.
We developed
New Merge Duplicate screen to start the merge process.
All the related records of the merge contacts automatically assigned to the new master contact record.
The new merged contact record is automatically assigned to the top most parent account of the hierarchy.
The client has been able to remove all the duplicate contact records from Salesforce and have a holistic view of the business.
The Background
Girikon’s Gmail Contact Sync App is a native Salesforce app, which is used to sync contacts record between User’s Gmail and Salesforce account.
The Challenge
The Client requirement is that the APP should be capable to sync the contact records in both direction using the rest API. The main challenge here that the Gmail API support only one record to be updated and created in one API call and Salesforce we have the API call limit in one execution.
The Girikon Team Solution
We build a Salesforce native app that is used to export and import contact records from Salesforce to User’s Gmail Account using the Google REST API. Using this App we can sync the contact details in both the direction.
The Result
With the solution of “Google REST API”, we were able to sync the records in both direction.
We developed
New screen to import contact from Gmail Account as well as export contact records from Salesforce to Gmail Account.
This enabled syncing of contact records between Salesforce and Gmail Account from this single screen in Salesforce.
The Background
Client was is seeking help with the Salesforce development required develop an app that can be used to create a custom Rollup Summary formula field for any lookup relationship with child object.
They need a native Salesforce app that would be used to auto capture the summarized data of child object like count of child records or total sum, min, max and average of field value of type number or double etc. The aggregated data should be store in to the Parent object’s custom field.
The Challenge
The main challenge is that app should be capable to work for any object in Salesforce and should be able to overcome the limitation of standard Salesforce feature of rollup summary field which is not working for the lookup relationship.
The Girikon Team Solution
As per the client requirement, we build a Salesforce APP which is used to achieve the functionality of “Roll- Up Summary” field in lookup relationship between parent child object. This app can be used for any objects in Salesforce and create a custom Roll-Up Summary field with points and click.
The Result
With the solution of “Batch Process” i.e. Apex Batch, and Apex scheduler we were able to process records in batches asynchronously.
We developed
A configuration screen where user can enter Roll-up Summary details of parent and child object that can be used to calculate the summarized data from the child object and sore that value in to the custom parent object that we mentioned in configuration details.
A custom list view of all the Roll-Up Summary configuration details that is used to delete any configuration or run it to get the updated value.
The Background
The requirement was to provide CRUD permissions on Cases for Standard Platform Users to enable then to manage cases effectively.
The Challenge
The Salesforce license being used by the client did not provide Standard Platform Users the access to cases.
The Girikon Team Solution
The solution was delivered in the form of a Visualforce page containing all the mandatory fields. REST API was used to retrieve the Data through the Admin profile and post the same to the database.
The Result
Standard Profile Users now got a view of cases as per status (WIP cases, Submitted cases, Closed Cases) and the ability to CRUD them thereby making the case management process very efficient.
